Alex KrainerGUEST
And, you know, we now have Burkina Faso, which is implementing the national system of economic governance.
Alex KrainerGUEST
And it'll be interesting to see what effect they will have if Ibrahim Traore can manage to keep himself from being assassinated.
Alex KrainerGUEST
You know, the French are not going to stop trying, but hopefully, you know, that would be a wonderful experiment to see come to maturity because, you know, one of the One of the myths that is being exploded these days is the myth of Western superiority.
Alex KrainerGUEST
You know, because we all, not we all, but most people in the West kind of came to believe that we are somehow superior and we should be in our right to tell other people how to organize their societies, what to do, and so forth.
Alex KrainerGUEST
And as it turns out, you know, the, uh, Bur- the...
Alex KrainerGUEST
In Burkina Faso, this is now being applied, and it comes from the same source because, uh, Ibrahim Traoré today is trying to apply the same model that was, uh, that, that his predecessor Thomas Sankara tried to.
Alex KrainerGUEST
And Thomas Sankara, uh, was, was mentored in economic governance by a French, uh, econo- economist.
Alex KrainerGUEST
Uh, his name was, um, Jacques Cheminade.
Martin DeCaroHOST
Right next to him was she, a few chairs further down, Kazakhstan's Tokoyev.
Martin DeCaroHOST
A bit less central sat Lula, Egypt's Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Burkina Faso's Ibrahim Traore, whom the Kremlin had flown in on a Russian plane.
Martin DeCaroHOST
On the neighboring tribunes, World War II veterans weighed down with medals or joined by grizzled Russian soldiers on leave from the front.
Martin DeCaroHOST
Even North Korean generals adorned with medals were in attendance.
Femi LazarusGUEST
A quote by President...
Femi LazarusGUEST
Ibrahim Traore.
Femi LazarusGUEST
Look at what he said.
Femi LazarusGUEST
And everything I'm going to read, I agree.
AshwinHOST
And before that, it was the underdevelopment imposed by the European slave trade.
AshwinHOST
All of this is to say that the quest for African sovereignty that we can trace today through figures like Kwame Nkrumah, Patrice Lumumba and more contemporarily Ibrahim Traore and others.
AshwinHOST
This quest for African sovereignty today is backgrounded by the de-development that came with the rise of the West and the rise of capitalism between the 16th and 19th centuries.
AshwinHOST
And for many, it's maybe clear what place China and India held in the pre-modern world system and why the West was intent on de-developing and subordinating those societies.

AshwinHOST
It also seems like The diplomatic neighborhood for the AES has gotten friendlier since when the AES initially formed and when ECOWAS seemed intent on finding any way, including through military invasion, to disrupt the sovereign process.
AshwinHOST
On the other hand, however, the AES continues to face serious military challenges, as you'll know, earlier this year.
AshwinHOST
And in fact, at the same time that the military operation was taking place in Venezuela in early January, there was an assassination attempt against Captain Ibrahim Traore.
AshwinHOST
Later in April, there was a really significant coup attempt in Mali that resulted in the martyrdom of Sadio Camara, Mali's minister of defense.
Femi LazarusGUEST
Do you check? Why be in the way of all the insecurity? Why plate you? Who is asking the right questions? Is it religion? The nations where this religion came from have peace.
Femi LazarusGUEST
Why is it that those who have propagated it take the version that takes peace away from them? It takes Ibrahim Traore to raise this in Burkina Faso.
Femi LazarusGUEST
Why try to make all the efforts to tell you that it's Christian genocide instead of saying Nigerian genocide? Are they exploiting the hatred you already have? Questions, questions, questions.
Femi LazarusGUEST
The most easy thing to exploit that you have is hate.
Rashida KhanGUEST
Having said that, it's not impossible to do.
Rashida KhanGUEST
So I am particularly, uh, I'm a big fan of General Ibrahim Traoré from the President of Burkina Faso.
Rashida KhanGUEST
I love what he's doing in his country.
Rashida KhanGUEST
He reminds me of my previous heroes of Thomas Sankara or Patrice Lumumba, uh, even to an extent in e-e-early days of Jomo Kenyatta.
Rashida KhanGUEST
So these are true, um, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, and p- and President Ibrahim Traoré, he doesn't ne- is not necessarily, even though he's Muslim, it's not necessarily run a Muslim country, but he's, he's incorporating certain principles of that and he's talking about independence.
Rashida KhanGUEST
One of the things that he has insisted on doing is stopping debt immediately.
Rashida KhanGUEST
No longer borrowing from countries.
